1. Connect AC mains to the LINE, NEUTRAL and GROUND terminals
respectively.
2. Connect output terminals AC OUT 1, AC OUT 2 to the film.
3. Connect the DMX IN port on the Flex to a PC or laptop. A USB-RS485
converter can be used for this purpose.
4. Open a hyper terminal application and establish connection with the
specific COM port. Use the following link parameters:
• Baud rate 9600

5. Turn the AC mains ON by plugging the power cord to the power outlet or
press the reset button on the controller.

“P” and Menu will display) The menu displays the software version and the
current configuration mode.
